As Special Olympics Team Canada’s Honourary Coach, McBean is at the ready to offer support and advice to the athletes and coaches competing in Abu Dhabi. Ambition and dedication to their sport is the tie that binds all athletes competing at the Games. So Team Canada’s powerlifter Josée Séguin was fit and ready to take on the world in Saturday’s competition. Séguin’s interest in powerlifting began about eight years ago.Her impressive performance included a personal best of 300 lbs., or 130 kilograms on her last dead lift. The Sudbury, Ont., native came away with an astonishing four medals.
Séguin credits her coach and trainer Callen McGibbon with the support and guidance that she has received on her way to this moment. That’s the thing; the words from a coach or a mentor can make the difference.
